Now, the biggest moment in the global: Amazing Assets promises an unheard of mix of well-being blended through culture fused with next-generation generation and deep cultural immersion.
Located in the captivating district of Kyoto Higashiyama, one of the most productive squares of the favored city through tourists and creators of flavor, the assets are decidedly free of crowds and full of a quiet and serene energy. A relaxing, peaceful, but deliciously attractive way. The atmosphere is gently humorous and attractive, while herbal materials, abundant light and meticulous attention to the mixture of details to create a quiet sophistication air.
The design of the assets sees key influences of the Heian period, with elements of the classical arts presented at the hotel. The living room, which houses a giant folding screen that incorporates 504 Rakuayaki tiles by hand made in earthly tones, is spacious and aerated, with an uninterrupted view of the court full of green through glass doors on the ground.
81 rooms and delicious design suites, ranging from intimate areas to a diversity of extensive 3 bedroom pentals with a personal roof terrace, a view presented to the patio, the Zen terrain of the Sanctuary of Toyokuni neighbor, that is, landscape of Kyoto. Each area has been Ardurseityd to create an exclusive sensory experience, incorporating sophisticated but an element of laughter that are promoted through local folklore and eternal elegance in Genji’s history.
“We are proud of the original Japanese traditions and the Japanese ornament that run the hotel, with original touches encouraged through folklore, such as the moon rabbit, and emblematic scrolls of exciting animals,” explains Nicolas Black, general director of six Senses of Kyoto, which is the non -public flavor the assets that it manages: During our first meeting, he wore a flavored linen jacket, he dresses related to the pants in terrestrial tones. “We hope to include an aggregate landscape stimulating without filter, original and friendly hospitality, and a desirable contrast of the preserved ancient culture and the ultra modern shinearray. Which are at our door.
Mirrors engraved with animals with leg prints that covered the exit of the doors of the F&B plugs, did not expect many higher main points to present the hotel, even in the maximum discrete corners. You can discover a radiant fox head next to the door of each space of friends, with its enlightened eyes or its mustaches that replace the “non -disturbing” panels.

The expansive spa seamlessly blends traditional healing techniques with modern science, providing an array of treatments and programs rooted in Japanese Zen philosophy. A personal favorite, the bathhouses offer an elevated take on the traditional Japanese rituals completed with dry and steam saunas as well as a cold-plunge pool. Popular treatments include Watsu therapy and offerings at the Biohacking Recovery Lounge, with wellness assessments available for identifying key biomarkers. Yoga, meditation, and fitness facilities are also available on site, catering to diverse wellness goals.
Beyond the spa, discovery is encouraged. With sustainability deeply rooted in its DNA, the property’s Earth Lab — a Six Senses signature — presents an array of activities where participants can make incense bags with DIY-ed furoshiki packaging or learn about composting whilst sipping the property’s sparkling water distilled on site. In addition, the Alchemy Bar allows for the creation of customized natural products, and a locally grown herb garden makes the perfect spot for appreciating the local bounty of the region.
The culinary arm fuses Japanese culture with a foreign twist. Hyperpersal ingredients of littoral origin are at the center of the dining experience, ready with cutting-edge techniques that flavor some azah lunch and beef tenderloin or sushi for OMI for sushi for dinner. Nine Tails, the sublime cocktail lounge that provides an intimate setting for evening relaxation, has some of the local whiskeys and martinis reimagined.

Rising in popularity steadily as a top destination fusing diverse offerings with rich cultures, Japan has gained momentum in attracting luxury travellers worldwide, particularly post-pandemic. Coinciding with IHG’s 60th anniversary since entering into the country, the opening of Six Senses Kyoto marks a new era of strategic growth for IHG focusing on providing its audience with a carefully crafted solution for every occasion. ANA InterContinental Tokyo, the main luxury destination for many locals and international business travelers for over 35 years, is undergoing a major glow-up: aiming to renovate 759 of its total 844 guest rooms since October 2023, combining and repositioning some rooms to offer expansive spaces uncommonly seen in the busy capital. Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo, a property popular with younger guests thanks to its close proximity to all the buzz Shinjuku has to offer and relaxed “come as you are” vibe, maximizes the rooms’ square footage by focusing on functionality without sacrificing design aesthetics. InterContinental Osaka, embracing the large port city’s modern architecture and warm energy, has established itself as the No.1 choice when it comes to elegant stays with unparalleled views and second-to-none service — I was most impressed by how seamlessly the team worked as one and how often the top management team greeted guests by their names.
“Japan is a priority market for IHG and today our presence in Japan is growing rapidly,” Abhijay Sandilya, Managing Director for Japan & Micronesia at IHG Hotels & Resorts says, referencing to the group’s 17 Luxury & Lifestyle hotels across four different brands in the country — 47 opened hotels in total.
“And we the ambition of the Japanese government to become a main tourist destination and house 60 million foreign visitors every year until 2030”.
The grand plan for IHG, Sandilya reveals, is to add 16 new hotels to the group’s Japan portfolio in the coming years, including 7 in luxury and lifestyle. “Vignette Collection, having debuted in 2024 with Windsor Toya, will be joined by the iconic RIHGA Royal Hotel Osaka this April as the brand’s first signed property in Japan, and Regent is entering Japan with Regent Kyoto opening in 2026. We are embarking on a new era of growth fuelled by people’s inherent desire to travel and an expanding tourism industry.”
